Our Customers
Driving Miss Daisy is for everyone and anyone who needs it
Whether they are ill, disabled, have special needs, can’t drive to important appointments and events and need a little extra help, our companions are there for them where and when they need them most. Some of our customers are also busy parents who struggle to get to or collect their children from school, or who need extra help during certain times of year, or those recovering from illnesses and operations.
Demand which is always growing
While our customers come from all different age groups and demographics, you won’t be surprised to learn that the majority of people using our services are from the UK’s growing elderly population. Over 12 million people in the UK are currently aged 65 and over, making up 18% of the population, and this is projected to double by 2030. 700,000 people in the UK also suffer from some form of dementia, a number set to rise with the ageing population.
It is certainly true that many people these days are leading happier, healthier lives for longer. However, most people will have at least a short period in their lives when they need that little bit of extra help, and our drivers are always happy to step up to fill the gap.
More than just a car ride
Just because someone is getting older, or finds it difficult to get around for other reasons, doesn’t mean they stop wanting to live their lives just like anyone else. At Driving Miss Daisy, we help people to remain happy, active members of society. Our customers are not just those seeking help with physical activities, but also those who are seeking the caring companionship they need to enjoy life to the fullest.
